Fairyhouse 18:50 - Price Boost

oddschecker Verdict

Successful in this race 12 months ago, GOODIE TWO SHOES can make it back-to-back wins. The Joseph O'Brien-trained mare went on to run a huge race when finishing runner-up in the Melbourne Cup in November. While a repeat bid for that latter contest is almost certainly her main aim, the daughter of Fastnet Rock is well suited to the conditions of this race and will appreciate the better ground. Floresta failed to give her true running when well beaten at Gowran in May but, on last year's form, the Johnny Murtagh-trained filly holds every chance. Bloom may be capable of improvement now stepping up in trip and wearing first-time cheekpieces.

Prediction: 1st Goodie Two Shoes, 2nd Floresta, 3rd Bloom
